The Penn State School of Music's Recital Hall will be hosting the New Ground Orchestra Festival on July 25th, 2025, at 7:30 pm. The concert will be a gathering of professional women musicians from all over the world. The goal? To bring joy, helping hands, and create beautiful music.

Created by Rebekah O'Brien, a Penn State School of Music graduate, the festival hopes to give musicians time to strengthen individual health as a performer and build meaningful relationships with colleagues and the local community!
